Which version of the Rosewill Capstone are you buying? 80+ gold has a price premium on it, you can do pretty well with a 80+ Bronze unit from Seasonic for less.

You can squeeze some money from the RAM going from 2133 to 1600 Mhz.

From these two areas, I'd spend more on the SSD and get a 128 GB unit of a higher quality line. Samsung 830/840, Vertex 4, etc.

All solid suggestions. But you have a solid system there, and if you don't want to change it, you should be fine. That said, trading down for the RAM and the PSU (while still getting a solid PSU) in favor of upgrading the SSD, would be my choice as well.

You might suffer instability issues with that SSD. GO for a Samsung 830 or a Crucial M4 instead as they both have proven themselves as excellent SSD's and the most value for money you can get in a SSD at this time.

Since the price of the P8Z77-V LK and the LX are approximately the same you should opt for LK, its a higher quality part.

I'll third the Samsung 830 suggestion, and they where on sale recently so you might get a good deal on a 128 or 256gb.
